TLDR
An academic medical center, functioning as a high-volume regional provider, can deliver tertiary care services with improved outcomes at lower costs than community hospitals.Abstract:
PurposeThe effects of regionalization of tertiary care were studied by analyzing cost and outcome for pancreaticoduodenectomies in a state in which the majority of these high-risk procedures were performed in one hospital.MethodsUsing Maryland inpatient discharge data via a retrospective study, theread more

Multimodal approach to control postoperative pathophysiology and rehabilitation.
TL;DR: While no single technique or drug regimen has been shown to eliminate postoperative morbidity and mortality, multimodal interventions may lead to a major reduction in the undesirable sequelae of surgical injury with improved recovery and reduction in postoperative mortality and overall costs.

Is volume related to outcome in health care? A systematic review and methodologic critique of the literature
TL;DR: A systematic review of the research evidence linking volume and outcome in health care is conducted, to summarize and describe the methodologic rigor of the existing literature, and to highlight the research and policy implications of these findings.
